This is a Hybrid puzzle of 2 puzzle types: Country Road and Star Battle
Draw a single, non-intersecting loop in the grid that enters and exits each bold region exactly once. If a number clue is given in a region, that number indicates the exact number of cells used by the loop in the region. Unused cells cannot be orthogonally adjacent across different regions. Additionally, each row, column and region must have exactly 1 star. Stars cannot touch each other, not even diagonally. Stars behave as unused cells and cannot contain loop segments.
Solve in Penpa+ Answer check enabled. Use both line and stars.
Lösungscode: For each row, enter the column number of the star. Column numbers start from 1 and go up to 9. Then again for each row, enter the sum of the lengths of the horizontal line segments. First part gives 9 numbers and second part gives 9 numbers for a grand total of 18 numbers. Do not use spaces between numbers.

Entering solution code harder than the puzzle itself.

Nice puzzle. It was my 1st one with these rules, so it took me more than 2 hours to finish it. I misunderstood the instructions of the solution code. I thought that the length of a segment was equal to the number of cells used. Nice puzzle, nontheless!
